I think so. Once again, the video froze right at the end of the set while I was on the phone, so I don't know exactly what happened.

Great stuff from Alex, from the sound of things he's starting to create a lot more chances now on the Cilic serve. Would you say he's starting to read it more ?

Is he making less sloppy errors ? Does Cilic have any big weapons from the back of the court ?

Count Zero · Tennis legend

over head volly from al, not sure if he fluffed it tho, he better not have.

Sheddie · administrator

Is this on the Cilic serve ?

Count Zero · Tennis legend

looks like clilc held. its hard to tell on serve as the back of the court is missing

defintly gatting more chnaces, i think he ahs to keep clic int he rallies and he will make a mistake.

steven · Tennis legend

Cilic held to 30,, and we're definitely in a final set.

Count Zero · Tennis legend

even with a tiny video stream alex serving action is so disticitve you can tell him apart.

yes the volley was on cilic serve.

steven · Tennis legend

Danger 15-30 on Al's serve

Count Zero · Tennis legend

i think al is trying to keep the ball low with back hand slice, cilic is finding the net quite a bit.

Scoreboard gives me some error in German which I cant paste into translator.

Count Zero · Tennis legend

Alex must have worked out that Cilic doesn't like the ball coming low. Mike said that one of the great things about Alex is his ability to assess his opponent's weaknesses and wait until the big points before exploiting them

steven · Tennis legend

Yes, 1-1, Cilic to serve.
